What is a Minor
A Minor is a complementary programme to a Bachelor’s Degree which allows you to broaden your main study field by developing cross-cutting skills that are useful both for your further education and for your career.
A Minor is composed of three modules of 6 ECTS each. By passing the three Minor exams you will get a certification and an Open Badge. Furthermore, Minor can be recognised in the elective course section of your Bachelor’s Degree.
Objectives and contents
Each student, at the end of their studies, is destined to take on work as an employee in a company or on their own. In any case, they must fulfil their obligations as a tax payer through the payment of fees and taxes. Furthermore, by entering the world of work, the student becomes, if they are not already, the client of a bank, since both personal income and expenses, as well as those connected with the work performed, pass through a current account. At the same time, there is the issue of managing savings, through the choice of investments compatible with one's own needs and financial objectives. Among the objectives there is also that of having an adequate income at the end of the working activity, adhering to supplementary social security schemes with respect to the public pension, such as pension funds.
The objectives of the minor are therefore to provide the student with the basic knowledge on the functioning of companies, the labour market, the social security system and the tax system and deepen the student’s financial education, through the knowledge of the rules governing relations with banks and the main savings investment instruments.
To ensure the effectiveness of the course, the frontal lessons, carried out by a team of professors from the Management Department, are accompanied by external witnesses, in order to ensure a better understanding of the operational aspects of the topics covered.
